Thung Yao hotels & places to stay

Literally the best place I ever stayed, it is so much better than it looks on the picture. This hotel has three hotsprings in their own garden, which are not on the agoda pictures so it was a very nice surprise when we arrived. We even had an outside bathtub at our own bungalow which in the evening was filled with hotspring water by the staff, so we look at the stars in our own private garden sitting in a hot bath. The staff is superfriendly, the surroundings are very peaceful and superbeautiful, elephants come to take a bath in the river at the hotel so there is always something beautiful to see. If agoda would have shown the real beauty of this place we would have booked more than two nights because we were really sad we had to leave this place. The only minor point of criticism we have is that the hotel works together with a very bad motorbike rental company, those guys tried to scam us in every possible way. So the hotel should start working together with another rental company than "happy pai" to provide guests with motobikes. But it is not the hotel's fault that those guys are so terrible, the people of the hotel are the best!

It was excellence stay with my partner, the staff is helpful and provide the FREE transportation from town to hotel and vice versa when arrival and leave from hotel. Nice hotel view that make the hotel become the significant hotspot in PAI. But there also cause abit problem to the customers who stay in here, due to the visitors will suddenly walk to the place we stay to take photo thus this will caused us feel shock suddenly hear people stand outside of the place we stay

From the minute I arrived at Kuad Khon, I knew I was home. I had been in Pai for three nights prior staying at a cheap bamboo cottage on the riverfront. It was nothing special, and the bed was barely sleepable. So, wanting to stay somewhere a little nicer for one night, I booked a room at Kuad Khon on recommendation from Agoda. I was so so very happy I did. It's a bit outside of Pai, probably 10 minutes by motorbike, but I had rented one while I was there; so it wasn't a big deal. I actually loved its location, surrounded by rice fields with a great view of the mountains in the distance. The pool was perfect, and I went in it for hours during my one-night stay, including a night swim where I had it to myself. It was a little loud because they're building more bungalows, so the owner gave me a free breakfast to compensate. I couldn't ask for anything more, and my only regret was that I only stayed one night.

We absolutely loved our stay. So many animals on the grounds! Beautiful resort, so full of nature, flowers and creeks. It was so lovely. The staff was really sweet and helpful, and im pretty sure it was the owner that even gave us a ride to the bus station after we checked out! The resort is right in between the main attractions The Container and Coffee in Love. The view during breakfast, which was yummy everyday, was breathtaking. The room was really spacious and the bed and pillows were super comfy. We rented motorbikes from the hotel as well which was convenient and easy. Overall we would definitely recommend!!

The english speaking lady staff at the front office is a godsend. She is patient and very helpful. Worked in Bangkok and Phuket formerly and now making guests feel at home in Pai. She is the star of this property and made my day by preparing the most loving breakfast. The property is total greenery and was overall, a very positive experience. A little out of the way but should be ok if you have a car or bike.

I feel like I can't say enough praises about this place! I booked it for 3 nights and was a little hesitant that there was only one review. My fears were unfounded though. The couple that run the resort are incredibly accomadating and make sure you are well taken care of. The rooms are spacious and have an outdoor hot shower, mini garden, and private hottub. Being sick, it was the perfect place for me to relax and recuperate. The spa packages are also quite nice. It's out of the city, so you need to rent a scooter, but it's in a beautiful area and so worth it. I've been traveling for a few months and this has been the best 3 days of my trip!

The hotel is set about 5-7 minutes outside of town by car/motorbike. In fact renting a motorbike is essential if you stay here, but you really should get one if you visit Pai to make the most of your time. The hotel rents motorbikes for 150THB per day with helmet with no hassles. No need to leave your passport, and no scams. Rent full of Petrol and return full. It is NOT a walkable distance to town, and there are no taxi/tuk tuks, so a motorbike is a must. The first mention must be of the hospitality of the owner and family. They really go above and beyond and i felt more like an old friend than guest. They picked me up and dropped me off in town for free, and were very hospitable during my stay. On my checkout i had left a couple of items in the room, and the owner came and found me in a cafe in town to returned the items. I really appreciated that gesture. Thank you. Amazing. The pool is absolutely idyllic, postcard stuff. There is also a gym and sauna onsite. This would be a very nice place to rest for a few days, as there are coffee shops and view points withing meters of the hotel. Just head into town for meals. The bungalows are very new, and are extremely comfortable with AC/TV and comfortable beds. Enough room to move around with a spacious wet room that has a very nice shower. Some constructive criticism: the cleaners could make more effort in the bathrooms, there is a soapy feel to the wall/floor and the sink was not cleaned at all during my stay. I do hope the owners will address this because it really is the only minor downside. Also in the colder months, it would be very nice to have a second blanket in the room. I'm sure the owners would have been only too happy to supply me with one, but i obviously didn't want to disturb anyone at 3am - and it was my last day. I would not hesitate to stay here again next time Im in PAI. This time i will stay longer, chill and recharge my batteries. Final mention to the lovely white dog that will come to gree

It is a great hotel, staff speak limited english, but very friendly and helpful. The breakfast menu only available in Thai and all are western food, but the owner prepare thai authentic breakfast upon my request, which is very heart warming, they even send the breakfast to your bungalow. The hotel location is not easy to find which i took nearly one hr to look for (GPS not working well) but the hotel staff went out to fetch me, so if you are not sure, pls call the hotel so they can direct you better. the hotel is very clean and comfortable. the bathroom is open concept which you will able to see the sky during showering. but dont worry as other will not see you. it is located not far from town if you are riding motorbike. and hotel is very quiet compare to town. overall I have very good comment for the hotel... very comfortable and nice. will definitely recomend to other friends and come back again.

I had a wonderful time at sweet memories but only if I can stay slightly longer, it would be a very relaxing stay. I love the breakfast and the welcome by the owner and staff was really making my stay such a warm feeling. Thanks for the shutter service to town even we had a car and it was so considerate of their customer who driving up was a bad idea with super traffic.

We loved this place! We stayed here about a week a really enjoyed it. First of all we felt very welcome by the couple who runs this place, they are so friendly. We could not speak to each other in a language but with a lots of laughing, hand and feed, everything works out. The resort is so beautifull,you are really in the nature. We had bungalow Nr. 5. It was a big bamboo bungalow with a nice terrace. I know, that bamboo bungalows can be sometimes a little "windy" but these bamboo bungalow had a good standard, was very well maintanaced and we felt very comfy. They have this cute little details like colour windows. It felt really cosy and comfy. The water in the shower is really hot, not only warm. They provide Shampoo and Soap in the bathroom. Everything is very clean and you see that they take care! The bungalows are built in a beautiful garden with a view to the fielda and the moutains. They have wifi, we could use it in the bungalow. I am not sure if it is working in every bungalow or only the ones close to the common area. We were near it. Here some important informations how to find the place and some reccomondations. If you arrive in Pai the best thing is to rent a motorbike immediately. Take the road 1095 to Chiang Mai. On the left hand you will see after 3 Minutes drive the famous "coffee in love" at KM 95. Please go further the road. 1 minute later there is the big Pai Praya Resort on the left side. Pleas turn directly after Pai Praya resort left into the dirt road (the dirt road is between Pai Praya Resort and an other Resort with GREEN bungalows). Follow the dirt road till the end (300 to 400 meter) than you reach the resort. If you can not rent a bike take a taxi, but maybe have some food before and grap some for later. There are a hand full retaurants around, but they close very early. If you are looking for a quiet beautiful place with great nature around and you dont mind to drive a motorbike, we hardly reccomend this

Our stay at Tewdoi Garden resort was in a strategic location with quiet and scenic environment. But it was hard to locate the resort as the front entrance doesn't have Tewdoi Garden signboard. The hotel should upgrade to brighter colour room as the chalet with dark wooden colour makes the room looks abit spooky and uncomfortable. Breakfast should have more varieties of English breakfast and local delights.

The owners of Armina are incredibly helpful and kind, Mu offered to drive us to pai canyon and to town, Ann helps to book for our trip to pine forest, they went above and beyond to help us for everythings we needed. The place is amazing, every conner is made from host with love and creativity, fantastic mountain view of the sunrise in the morning, we enjoyed our stay in Armina. Wonderful family and beautiful accommodation.

Staying at Pai Poshtel Guesthouse felt like staying at a resort, a mini Oasis among guesthouses. Gavin and Ronnie were great hosts, with great local knowledge, fun conversations and delicious food (thank you Ronnie!) The two nights I stayed at Pai Poshtel were really nice. The hostel room, bed and bathroom were clean , as were the charming eating area and beautiful pool. The other guests were fun and interesting to meet and share adventures with. I had a great time. Thanks again Gavin and Ronnie! I look forward to staying with you again the next time I'm in Pai. Best, Darren
